TBL Liquidity Indicator and Money Markets Update: TBL Weekly #161
Repo crisis doomers beware...
Dear Readers,
This past week put our indicator to the test in real time, and we identified a signal misalignment, which several astute TBL Pros also noticed—thank you for keeping us accountable.
An important reminder before today’s article: this indicator remains a work in progress. We’re committed to adjusting it immediately if the signal is incorrect in any way, shape, or form. After all, your macro/financial research theses are our priority #1, which sets up a high-quality standard that we must abide by if we want to continue providing research value to all of our TBL Pros. As always, we are grateful for your loyalty and patience.

TBL Liquidity Indicator
While we tirelessly work in the background to make our TBL Liquidity Indicator actionable in a live environment, the overall cycle itself still allows us to see short-term liquidity movements derived from our TBL Liquidity Index.
